AUD/USD and India
Australia is one of India's key trade partners, with significant bilateral flows in commodities, education, and services. The Australian dollar is closely tied to global commodity cycles — particularly iron ore and coal — which also influence India's import costs and industrial outlook. Indian traders often watch AUD/USD as a barometer of global risk appetite and commodity demand, alongside domestic pairs. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) announces its cash rate decision on the first Tuesday of each month, making it a key event for AUD pairs globally.
| Currency | Central bank | Policy rate | What moves it |
|---|---|---|---|
| AUD | Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) | Cash rate target | RBA · CPI · China data |
| USD | Federal Reserve (Fed) | Federal funds target range | FOMC · CPI · jobs data |
Trading Hours (IST)
AUD/USD is most active during the Sydney and Tokyo sessions (05:30–16:30 IST) when Australian and Asian economic data drives price action. The London-New York overlap (18:30–22:30 IST) offers the deepest liquidity and tightest spreads. Key high-impact events for AUD include Australian CPI and employment figures, typically released around 08:00 IST, which can produce sharp moves in AUD pairs.
Spreads are tightest when two sessions are open at once and widest when one desk has gone home and the next has not arrived. The shaded band is the overlap.
